Star Wars background

John 2022-02-14 08:01:26

Under this background structure (human civilization is about to die), there are a lot of topics related to politics, ethics, and human nature that can be discussed. For example, under what circumstances will democracy and dictatorship be chosen, whether different races can coexist peacefully, the future of mankind, and so on.

What is a bit uncomfortable is that the existence of the Creator is presupposed, but if there is no Creator, mankind would not have been extinct several times. This situation can be said to be the aura of the overall protagonist (human), or the creator deliberately? If this is done deliberately, the joke is a bit big, with billions of lives, two civilizations are on the verge of extinction. In the end, it was reduced to a magical drama.

Some plots are too cumbersome, and people at colonial representatives meetings and press conferences are always chattering and annoying. The myth goes against the will of the creator. The dying leader did not die before finding a new earth. All in all, don't treat the audience as a fool, the previous pits should be filled in reasonably.
The play should be shorter. The discussion of values ​​and the narrative background is also complete. Once the character's character is established, it should be closed. The end does not need to be the creator, then it can basically be called a drama.


All this has happened before, and all this will happen again.
So say we all!

Battlestar Galactica quotes

  • Captain of Colonial Heavy 798: Geminion liner 1701, this is Colonial Heavy 798.

    Captain of Colonial Heavy 798: [realizes that the newly-vowed president is behind him] No, strike that. This is Colonial One.

  • Adama: [sensing despair at the funeral service after the battle at Ragnor] Are they the lucky ones? That's what you're thinking, isn't it? We're a long way from home. We've jumped way beyond the Red Line into uncharted space. Limited supplies. Limited fuel. No allies. And now no hope! Maybe it would have been better for us to have died quickly back on the colonies with our families instead of dying out here slowly in the emptiness of dark space. Where shall we go? What shall we do? "Life here began out there". Those are the first words of the sacred scrolls. And they were told to us by the Lords of Kobol many countless centuries ago. And they made it perfectly clear that we are not alone in this universe. Elosha, there's a 13th colony of humankind, is there not?

    Priest Elosha: Yes. The scrolls tell us a 13th tribe left Kobol in the Early Days. They traveled far and made their home upon a planet called Earth, which circled a distant and unknown star.

    Adama: It's not unknown. I know where it is! Earth - the most guarded secret we have. The location was only known by the senior commanders of the fleet, and we dared not share it with the public. Not while there was a Cylon threat upon us. For now we have a refuge to go to. A refuge that the Cylons know nothing about! It won't be an easy journey. It will be long and arduous. But I promise you one thing. On the memory of those lying here before you, we shall find it. And Earth will become our new home. So say we all!

    Galactica Crew: So say we all!

    Adama: [louder] So say we all!

    Galactica Crew: So say we all!

    Adama: [very much louder] So say we all!

    Galactica Crew: [louder] So say we all!

    Adama: [standing at attention with the crew] So say we all.

    Priest Elosha: So say we all.
